Seeking Islam

How do you become a Muslim?

The Seeking Islam website is here to help anyone who is thinking about Islam and who wants to find out how to become a Muslim.

Many people before you have gone down this same path and have converted to Islam. They have all come from different backgrounds – some already had a faith in God, but many people were agnostics or atheists and didn’t believe in God or have any time for religion.

On Seeking Islam, you will find the stories of people just like you who have made the journey to Islam and become Muslims. You will also find some useful information on the site that will help answer some of the questions you may have about becoming a Muslim.

May God guide you on this journey you are taking and may He guide you to the Straight Path.

One of the reasons we made this site is to reassure you that you are not alone. You might not have anyone you can turn to ask about the questions that are going through your mind. You might even be a bit worried at what is happening to you.

Please email us with any questions that you may have about Islam or about becoming a Muslim. We will try and answer your questions :-

The greatest help for you on this journey is to simply ask God for His help.

Ask Allah for help

If you don’t know how to ask Allah for help, then just sit down in a quiet place and speak to Him. You can do this out loud or in the stillness of your heart.

Sit on a chair – sit or kneel on the floor.

Ask God to guide you and help you. To guide you on a straight path to Him.

You should also read the Qur’an. Get yourself an easy-to-read version of the Qur’an in your own language. If you can’t find a Qur’an in your local shop, ask us to send a copy to you.

There is so much in the Qur’an that will help make sense of everything you are going through.

It will really help you if you ask Allah for His guidance and His help in understanding what you are reading every time you sit down to read the Qur’an.

Say to Allah – “Guide me on the straight path”.

Take your time. If you come across something that you don’t quite understand, read it a few times to see if you can make sense of it. Write it down so that you can try and find out the answer later.

Surah al-FatihahThe Opening

We ask that Allah , the Most High, guides you on a straight path and helps you with every step you take and with every thought you have.

May Allah ﷻ grant you success on this journey that you are embarking on.

JazakAllah Khairan, Sohail. Thank you so much for your comment. This was truly a journey I never expected to take and I am still amazed to find that I am a Muslim and very pleased that I am a Muslim. I thank Allah that He has guided me on a straight path. May Allah bless you and guide you always. SubhanAllah wa bihamdihi.

JazakAllah for your kind comment, Zakir. Both Stella’s and my story of coming to Islam show some of the different ways in which Allah can move in peoples lives to bring them into the fold of Islam. We hope to add a few more stories of people we know who have converted to Islam over the next wee while. I pray that people thinking about Islam as a path in life for them, and seeking Allah in their lives, will find these stories helpful and encouraging. There are many more Stella’s and Alan’s out there. May Allah guide them. SubhanAllah.

Hello John, thank you very much for taking the time to read the posts on the site. I am pleased that you found some of the information useful. If you have any questions about anything please feel free to use the form on the Contacts page to get in touch. Or perhaps you would like to suggest a topic that you would be interested in seeing covered in a future post. More stories of other converts will be added over the next few months, Insha’Allah, and it’s hoped to post a new blog entry every few weeks or so. Would be very happy to see you to continue to follow the site. JazakAllah khair.

JazakAllah khair brother. It is comforting to know that people are visiting the site and to receive feedback from them.

We trust in Allah that those people who are asking questions about Allah and about Islam can find their way to the site and perhaps find some answers that may help them on their own spiritual journey. May Allah guide them on the Straight Path.

It is an obligation on each believer to know of God and the foundational principles of the religion. To have a sound, basic knowledge about God and the practices of the religion.

Beyond that, there is a vast ocean of knowledge that can be sought. You are not expected to contain that vast ocean. Even the most brilliant scholars specialise in only a few areas of knowledge. And not everyone can be a scholar.
